The idea came from OVS, which provides some PCI specific info in the port status. https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/netdev-dpdk.c#L3655 https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs/blob/master/lib/netdev-dpdk.c#L3690 This is a pretty dumb API (returning a simple string). Maybe something more flexible like returning some TLV-ish structure or a map of strings (like OVS smap) would be better... The function name could be more generic rte_dev_info(), in this case. -- David Marchand
